Quote by Jayita Bhattacharjee

“All the feelings I string and all the poems I pen, unfurl their wings and take me to a place beyond all noise where stillness lies, beyond all sadness where music plays, and beyond all stirring into the unstirring quiet.”

“Silence is a collective abbreviation for a whole array of musical absences: the absence of sound, sounds never made, the absence of those who should have made them, sounds too quiet to be heard, sounds delayed or postponed indefinitely. Silence is the opposite of music, but it is also its lifeblood -- the breaths between the phrases, the drama, the anticipation, and the quality of the breathless hush between final note and applause. Music embraces calm silences, pregnant silences, animated or aggressive silences. Musical silence can be temporal, gestural, or spatial. In some cases, such as John Cage's famously curated silence, '4 Minutes 33 Seconds,' silence even -becomes- music. Without sound there cannot be silence, and vice versa.”

“Meditation brings an inner unfoldment of love, silence, joy, creativity and compassion. When that inner potential becomes actual you are no more the same. On the surface you are the same, but because your inner centre flowers, it is radiated on your surface too. One becomes luminous. And everything is sharpened by the inner flowering through meditation: your intelligence, your love, your creativity and your compassion.”

“Religion is a paradox; you have to become nothing to become all. You have to become nobody to become a god. You have to prepare for nothingness, and then the whole descends in you. Jesus says that the meek, the humble and the egoless belong to the kingdom of God. So the person who is not is the greatest, and the person who thinks that he is the greatest is just an idiot. People like Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler, Mussolini, Ghingis Khan, George W. Bush are basically stupid. Their whole desire is psychopathy, narcissism and megalomania. They create much suffering for themselves and other people. They go on stuffing their ego like a balloon, and then one day it bursts. Every day the ego goes on becoming bigger and bigger, and a moment comes when the puncture of the balloon happens, and everything goes flat. The ego is the roots cause of it, it is bound to create hell for yourself and for other people. Egolessness is paradise. The moment that you are meek, humble and egoless, you will enter into the kingdom of God. Then the last should be first. To be egoless is to be in the kingdom of God. But everybody is trying to be the greatest. And the whole project is doomed from the beginning, because it cannot succeed. It has never succeeded, because it is against existence. It is trying to work against existence. Ego means that you are trying to win against the whole, which is not possible.The part can never win over the whole. No-ego means that you dissolve with the whole. Then suddenly life becomes a totally new  phenomenon. Then life has tremendous  love, silence, joy, truth, freedom and beauty.”
